so that 3 median hands are present. Occasionally the anterior ocelli of the liindwing have blue central dots. 

 From Bolivia. 



lohdia. E. lobelia Btlr. ,:^ : above sky-blue, apex and distal margin of the forewing broadly black, the veins 



before the margin the same, also a streak on the discocellular and an almost triangular ring behind the cell. 

 The hindwing has the apex and 2 marginal liiies black. The inner angle is more strongly produced than in 

 the allied species. Beneath blue, with a basal streak, 2 median lines, a discal line and 3 marginal lines, 

 all black. Forewing with one, liindwing with 2 blind black eye-spots of unequal size at the apex. 45 mm. From 

 Ecuador. 



JicHos. E. helios Stgr. i. I. (49 c) rj. Above similar to mure Btlr., dark blue, at the costal margin somewhat 



lighter, forewing with a straight black stripe across the discocellular, reaching to the first median vein. Distal 

 margin black for a breadth of 2 mm., increasing at apex to 5 iTim. Hindwing black at the apex, with 3 black 

 marginal lines. Under surface light blue with red-bro%\ai., black-edged transverse stripes and brown mar- 

 ginal lines. On the forewing in cellules 3 and 4 two I'ound ochre-yellow spots and above them in cellule 

 5 a brown ring, Avhich is filled up with ochre-yellow and has a brown dot in the middle. Hindwing with 5 ocelli, 

 the 1st, 2ncl and 5th black with white pupil, that of the 5th eye-spot double, all with ochre-yellow iris and outer 

 brown ring; the 3rd and 4th consist only of a brown ring, filled up with ochre-yellow. From the Mapiri in 

 Bolivia. 



periboca. E. periboea (kxhu. tC- Salv. (49 c). The ground-colour of the upper surface is blue inclining to grey. 



Apex, costal and distal margins of the forewing are dark brown. The hindwing has 3 dark brown marginal 

 lines. Beneath the wings are brown with 2 dark brown median lines, a dentate submarginal line and 2 marginal 

 lines. In the marginal area of the hindwing are placed 5 eye-spots, on the forewing the number varies 

 from 1 to 4, or they are here entirely ab,sent. They are small, black, with white pupils and brownish yellow 

 rings. An easily recognizable species. From Colombia (Manaure in the Sierra Nevada from Santa Marta [Simon.s] 

 and in Paime near Muzo, 1000 m., in October [Fassl]). 



Pilata Group. 



The oo "f this group are cli.stinguisheil by ;iu oval spot nf rai.seiJ or hair-like .scales, placed at the luulille of the 

 inner margin on the upper.side of the forewing. 



ri/dnilcs. E. cyanites Btlr. (= stigmatica Godm.) (49 c). The ,^ is .sky-blue above, almost like coelestis, with 



black stripes and bands, but with the inner line on the foreAving absent, inner margin of forewing with a whit- 

 ish, gi-ey-scaled spot. Beneath the bands are more reddish and the eye-spots smaller than in coelestis, other- 

 wise like the latter. Moreover cyn.nites is larger. The V^ which I received from coll. Thieme as stigmatica $, 

 is very different from the i^. It is grey-brown above, with a very slight bluish reflection in the basal of half both 

 wings, with 2 marginal lines on the forewing, 3 on. the hindwing, of which only the outer one is distinct. 

 Fringes grey. Under surface bluish grey, with 2 brown lines through the middle. tli£ distal one somewhat undulate, 

 a strongly dentate submarginal line and 2 marginal lines, the latter on the hindwing undulate, with one 

 distinct and several (3 or 4) indistinct ocelli on the forewing and 6 eye-spots on. the hindwing in cellules 1 b 

 to 6, all black with white pupil, ochre-yellow I'ing and brownish bordering, the outer 2 smaller, the midtUe 

 2 rather indistinct. Butler gives Brazil as locality, Godmax received stigmatica from Entre Rios in Argentina, 

 Haensch took both sexes in Minas Gej-aes. 



yiilala E. pilata Btlr. (49 c). Above sky-blue. Forewing with dark brown, apex, costal and distal margins 



the same and with grey-brown hair-pencil over the inner margin. Under surface bright, glossy blue with 2 straight 

 brown median lines, 2 margiti.al lines and a somewhat stronger submarginal line. Forewing with an eye-spot 

 before the apex, with 2 small black spots below it and a lighter one above it. Hindwing with 4 eye-spots, 2 at 

 the apex and 2 at the anal angle, the first and last small. These eye-spots consist of a thick orange- 

 yellow ring with obliquely placed black pupil and an outer brown ring. Between the eye-spots are placed 

 2 tliin brown rings, filled up with the blue ground-colour. From Ega (Teffe) and Tabatinga on the Amazon. 



lencra. E. tenera Stgr. i. I. (49c). Above dark blue, forewing with broad, washed-out, black distal margin 



and black veins. At the middle of the inner margin a short dark brown hair-tuft. Hindwing with undulate 

 dark marginal lines. Inner margin grey. Beneath light greeni.sh blue with 2 straight brown median lines, a 

 curved band in the marginal area and undulate marginal lines. Forewing with a small blind eye-spot before the 

 apex and below it a short brown nebulous band. Hindwing with 5 eye-spots of uniform size; these are black 

 with ochre-yellow and outer brown riaigs and white pupils, the. 3rd and 5th bi-pupilled. From the Rio Juntas 

 in Bolivia. 



pcnicUlaia. E. peiiicillata Godm. ,j' : above greenish blue with narrow brown margms and with a thick pencil of brown 



hairs over the iniaer margin of the forewing. Beneath greenish brown with 2 fairly straight median lines, an 

 undulate submarginal and 2 marginal lines, all dark brown. Forewing with 3 ocelli, the first somewhat
